About Me

I am a Full Stack Developer with significant experience working on successful and high volume websites and web applications for notable clients such as Expedia and Travelocity. My expertise is in LAMP environments, including deploying scalable applications in AWS with services such as Elastic Beanstalk and S3. I am completely proficient in PHP (14 years experience), OOP, MVC design patterns, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (12 years of experience). I work with pure PHP as well as several leading PHP frameworks. I am interested in machine learning and use Rubix ML, a machine learning library for PHP. When you start thinking of your dogs as objects with methods and properties, you know you are addicted to programming :-)
